ARKOSE AND EUTROPE USED TO DATE? HAVE YOU SAID THIS BEFORE?? THIS IS NEWS TO ME IM CHEERING SO HARD FOR UR GUY

OHHH YES they have HISTORY. Messy history. It's entirely possible i have not elaborated on this before lol. (Oh boy this got long because holy shit there is a LOT going on with these two, and it is some CHOICE drama.)

The relationship between Arkose and Eutrope happened a couple of years pre-Domebreak. Eutrope was earlier in her career but her star was rising fast. At the same time, Arkose was starting to go more significantly downhill with the levin sickness, and needing to use visible mobility aids (stiff ankle/foot braces + platform crutches for balance and stability) on a more regular basis. This came with the profoundly annoying side effect of getting stared at when they went to the gym, which led them to look for somewhere a little more private to work out. That search led them to Tritails through a mutual friend connection with Yaana.

Inevitably, they ran into each other (it took a little while, since Eutrope was spending less and less time at home as she got more famous and, as a result, far more busy) and Arkose was like "Yaana, holy shit, when were you gonna tell me Wicked Thunder was your sister???" because they have always been a huge nerd about the Arcadion (they go by K.O. as a nickname). Arkose, fortunately, managed to get over their initial nerd-squee reaction and the two of them hit it off really well, enough that they eventually started dating.

Which was all well and good for a while. And then Arkose got the bright idea of "hey what if you tried using some of your electrope powers, y'know, in bed." Eutrope was definitely hesitant, given that she had no idea how it might interact with their condition, but eventually agreed to try it.

It seemed to go alright. Arkose absolutely loved it, and had maybe a little more numbness and tingling afterwards than before, but nothing too major, and definitely less than they expected.

Until they woke up the next morning more or less feeling like they got run over by a truck, because they were all the way to the "bad" side of their "bad vs good days" spectrum. No need to guess the reason - it was obvious that there were indeed some significant side effects, just on a bit of a delay.

The thing was, even in spite of that, they really liked the electrope experimentation. It was one of the very few things they had found that really made them feel alive.

Because, see, Arkose is an Azem shard. They were born for adventure - to travel the world, to explore, to fight gods and monsters. Instead, they were born into a very small, very confined fragment of a world, with an environment that is slowly killing them. And between growing up, which left them with less and less new experiences and places to discover, and the increasing physical limitations from the levinsickness progressing over time, it felt as though that bubble was actively shrinking around them, and they had no good way to cope. Consequently, their mental health was also going downhill, and they started having derealization episodes if they spent too long in Solution Nine without going outside.

Anything that can could through that was nothing short of a lifeline. Honestly, even with the side effects, convincing their girlfriend to shock them like an electric eel (ooh girl) is probably not even that far down the scale of bad coping mechanism options.

So Arkose decided to just... not mention the little tiny side effect of getting completely whammied the day after. Which they knew was objectively kind of a dick move, but hey, they're the one making the tradeoff, it should be their decision.

It didn't take too long for Eutrope to notice that Arkose always happened to be "busy" or "not feeling well" for a day or two after doing anything with electrope. She put two and two together, confronted Arkose, and proceeded to (very justifiably) dump them. She felt as though they were using her, at best, as a way to satisfy their adrenaline-junkie cravings (more or less true); at worst, as a tool for self-harm (not really the case, at least not intentionally).

That breakup was definitely the main trigger for Arkose hitting their personal rock bottom in terms of mental health, though they managed to eventually claw their way back up somewhat. The peak of their mental health crisis and the resulting turnaround was also the catalyst for a lot of other things; most notably, the decision to stop wearing a regulator, and a subsequent massive falling-out in their friendship with Sphene, which is a whole other story.

Arkose and Eutrope weren't really on speaking terms after the breakup. Yaana mostly took her sister's side and drew back on their friendship, though she didn't cut Arkose off completely, and they were still allowed to use the gym as long as Eutrope wasn't around.

Yaana and Arkose largely reconciled their friendship after Eutrope disappeared, because she reached out to them in the hope that they might have some kind of lead. Arkose had some pretty significant personal growth in the intervening time and was able to recognize, in retrospect, how badly they had fucked up. And although they didn't have much interest in trying to reconcile with Eutrope, they threw their full effort into trying to find out what happened for Yaana's sake. (Most helpfully, they were friends with Shale by that point and convinced her to help - obviously without success, but with a lot more progress than Yaana had been able to make by herself.) As mentioned, Arkose is still a massive nerd about the Arcadion, and as Yaana has been starting her own fighting career, they've been helping her scope out opponents and come up with strategies.

Then Ardwin helps drive an exploding train into the dome and lots of other stuff happens, after which Ardwin decides fighting in the Arcadion sounds super fun.

Ardwin and Arkose actually meet through Yaana, after she volunteers to be Ardwin's second. They get along like a house on fire almost immediately, but they only figure out the soulmate situation sort of on accident, through a very convenient side effect. (Bear with me for a second, because it does become particularly relevant.)

Rejoinings work on the principle that a big enough aether imbalance forces it to flow from a higher concentration to a lower one. Ardwin already found out it works with soul shards, too: on the First, Ardbert was able to take a little bit of the Light from her when they touched. Not much, because he didn't have a corporeal body, but enough for her to temporarily feel better. Their mini-Rejoining was a lot more effective, though - basically the difference between bailing out a leaking boat, and patching the hole.

So, when her and Arkose touch, they get the same thing, but with levin. It's only a temporary fix; as long as Arkose is in Heritage Found, or any other environment with really high levin, they'll naturally trend back towards imbalance. The siphoning effect also only gets triggered at a certain threshold, so it has something of a cooldown. In the short term, it's really effective; in the long term, if combined with spending the majority of their time outside the dome, it means Arkose is now gradually getting better, instead of worse.

But then, of course, Eutrope comes very dramatically crashing in at the awards ceremony, demanding Ardwin's soul.

Which... makes for something of a complication, because Arkose is ALSO in the camp of "needs Ardwin('s soul) to treat my very serious degenerative condition." So Arkose is like "Sorry, I have dibs. If you want her, you're going to have to go through me."

So that's layer 1 of the current extremely dramatic situation.

Layer 2 is that some especially dedicated/enterprising fan, deep in an Arcadion fan forum somewhere (or perhaps the S9 equivalent of Tumblr), has seen the gossip/speculation that Ardwin and Arkose are in a relationship. And then they dig up the tidbit, which isn't very common knowledge because Eutrope was significantly less famous then, that Eutrope and Arkose were ALSO previously in a relationship.

That post proceeds to massively break containment and go viral across pretty much the entirety of Solution 9 Social Media because OH EM GEE LOVE TRIANGLE?!?!?!

(Metem is losing his mind because he literally couldn't have wished for better publicity/hype for the Ardwin vs Wicked Thunder match. The whole Arcadion marketing team is having an absolute field day. There are - arguably tasteless - T-shirts with TEAM ARDWIN and TEAM EUTROPE being printed, a la Team Edward/Jacob, and they are FLYING off the shelves.)

Anyways, the whole situation there is sort of in a holding pattern following the first Arcadion tier, so I'm very curious to see where it goes next. Arkose and Eutrope are definitely over for good, but the DRAMA of it all, my GOD.

[blues824]

im surprised this hasn't been requested yet,, but could you please do malleus, jade, floyd, silver and trey with a reader who is like alice kingsleigh? im talking about the live-action alice, not the animated one (im unsure if they act the same, its been a while since i watched the animated one).

The LA and the animated versions are quite different. Gender-neutral reader.

Trey Clover

You were as brave as you were adventurous, and he appreciated that about you. However, your sense of adventure often ended up with you in trouble with Riddle, and this baker had to bail you out with a Get-Out-of-Jail-Free card (a strawberry tart) more times than he can count. You loved standing up for what you believed was right, and you didn’t think the Queen’s rules were just at all.

Trey loved hearing about your own world. The different cultures and how you were seen as crazy always amused him. However, whenever you got to the parts where you were either going to have a spouse chosen for you or you were going to be thrown into a mental asylum because you had the ability to travel through mirrors and get from Twisted Wonderland back to your world… or so you claimed, according to your world, he was in disbelief. Your land seemed even more twisted than anything Twisted Wonderland has to offer.

All that aside, you do have to admit that the treats your beloved baker makes are better than the Eat Me! pastry that you had consumed however many months ago. It did increase your size by a very significant amount… you almost destroyed Heartslabyul. However, you just drank the Drink Me! potion and you shrank down to the size of a pencil. Trey took it upon himself to make sure that you weren’t squashed, and you sat on his shoulder.

The Vice Housewarden knows of your distaste for the patriarchy, but this man was written by a woman (literally and figuratively). When he threaded his fingers through yours and brought the back of your hand to his lips for a gentle kiss, you could tell that it was genuine love that he felt for you. He had no intention to ‘tame’ you. No, he wanted to be the person you returned home to, and you were grateful for that.

Jade Leech

He was intrigued by you, to say the least. You marched so bravely into Azul’s office that day and you demanded that your friends be freed of their contract. Considering you were a sea captain and knew much more about shady deals with pirates than Azul knows about making shady deals, you were able to find loopholes within the loopholes created. You took your time and read through the fine print and pointed out errors, and seeing the cecaelia so riled up in anger made the eel’s heart beat quickly.

That is how you both became friends, actually, and romantic partners. Your sense of adventure aligned with his, and you both swam and hiked with each other. You lived an active lifestyle, something that doesn’t quite fit within the societal standards of your world, so keeping up with Jade was no challenge for you. Every single time you make it up a mountain, you always ask about the different mushrooms and their properties, and this eel is more than happy to tell you.

Your Unique Magic was definitely strange, as you had the ability to travel between entire worlds. For any holiday break, you were able to go back home. However, you rushed back into Twisted Wonderland in what seemed to be a tattered straitjacket. Your eyes were a bit sunken in, and you seemed a bit woozy. That’s when you told him, with slurred speech, that you had been sent to a mental asylum and injected with a bit of medicine to make you go to sleep before you pulled the syringe out and stabbed it into the doctor.

Jade took you to his room where he helped you take off the straitjacket, offering you one of his own shirts and hoodies. Then, he tucked you into bed so that you could sleep off the medicine’s effects. Oh, he definitely wanted the doctor who did this to you to pay, but for some reason, he was not able to go to your world like you were able to. But your tired ramblings of forced marriage and societal standards made him want to find a way so he could make those humans pay for touching his beloved.

Floyd Leech

He, too, was intrigued by you when you marched into Azul’s office and demanded to read your friends’ contracts. He did get bored when you sat down and read the fine print, but when you pointed out a loophole that managed to get your friends out, Floyd was genuinely surprised. No one has ever managed to do that before, which made his hyperfixation on you even more apparent and present.

But, that ‘hyperfixation’ wasn’t a ‘hyperfixation’... it was a crush. Your adventurous personality both aligned with and contradicted his. You never made him bored. You liked playing basketball with him so that he could get extra practice. You loved sneaking him away during his 15 minute break at the Mostro Lounge just so that you could hang out with him a bit more. Also, when he was in a bad mood, you were not afraid of being squeezed because you faced an entire jabberwocky before. A grumpy eel was nothing to you.

During that break where you were originally going to go home, he did not want you to leave. Well, just a few days into the break, you jumped back through the mirror in a straitjacket and you were stumbling about. You ran as fast as you could to Octavinelle and into the [closed] Lounge. Floyd rushed to see what was wrong, and you went on and on about how you were thrown into a mental asylum and injected with medicine that would put you to sleep. He picked you up and over his shoulder and took you to his room where you slept off the medicine’s effects. He cuddled close to you, and you would never know how angry he was.

Even though it doesn’t seem like he pays attention, he knows that nothing matters to you more than continuing your father’s legacy as a sea captain. However, he never wanted you to go back to your world if it would kill you. After all, he can’t function without his shrimpy. Anyways, you could be a sea captain in Twisted Wonderland, and he would even go with you. He could swim as much as he wanted, he could sail as much as he wanted, and he would get to be with you.

Malleus Draconia

He knew you were different based on the way you walked up to him and just introduced yourself. You held no fear of him, but you didn’t know who he was. When he told you to call him what you will, this intrigued you even more. You both found yourselves excited to meet up each night, as you got to know more about this mysterious new friend that you had made yourself acquainted with.

When you inevitably discovered who he truly was, you understood where he was coming from. Nothing really changed, but you often teased him about keeping more secrets from you. Eventually, a flower of romantic interest bloomed between the two of you, and every single time he brought you back to Ramshackle, he would wish you farewell by placing a polite and loving kiss on the back of your hand. When he looks back up at you, you can feel your heart flutter a bit because of the amount of love he looks at you with.

Malleus had no intention of ‘taming’ you either. If you were to rule beside him, you would do wonderfully as-is. Your world did not share the same view, and one night you had told him about your winter break when he came back. You were taken in by Octavinelle when you ran back through the mirror from your world in a straitjacket and you had some medicine injected into you at that point. The dragon prince was absolutely angry, and a storm was starting to form as you went on and on about the happenings.

If you think you are ever going back to your world, you are sadly mistaken. He is not letting you go back just so you can be tossed back into an insane asylum. He knows about your desire to carry out your father’s legacy, but you can do that here. Actually, he still hates the idea of you being away from him, but it will do because at least you would be in Twisted Wonderland. Plus, there is no chance that you are going to fall for someone else, so he has nothing to worry about.

Silver

He reminded you of the dormouse that you had met. He always fell asleep, which was unfortunate when one was as adventurous as you were. But you were not going to let him lie in the middle of the hallway just to be trampled. It was with a tad bit of difficulty that you pulled him onto a chair and off of the floor. However, he miraculously woke up because of all the extra movement, just to see you really close to his face. To say he was startled [and flustered] would be an understatement.

This was a start to a rather interesting relationship. Since he was a knight, you compared him to the card knights in Underland, but found there to be no comparison at all. After all, he was not rushing to paint the roses red. He was very serious compared to your first year friends (excusing Jack and Sebek), but that was what you liked about him. He, too, was the constant in your life, even if you had only known him for a short period of time.

Silver appreciates peace, but he appreciates you even more. So, when he comes back from Briar Valley, and he hears whispers about you being thrown into a mental asylum back home, he is running around trying to find you. He found you at Ramshackle, staring at a straitjacket with a look of absolute betrayal on your face. That was when he realized that all the whispers were correct. He pulled you into his arms, grateful that you were okay. 

From that point on, he kind of treats you differently. He doesn’t want you going back to your world if that is how they are going to treat you. No, he will keep you safe because he doesn’t want you to get hurt. He supports your dream of being a sea captain, and he will help you learn the different lands from a multitude of different maps so that you could be confident in the geography of Twisted Wonderland.

Enstars oc i never talked about on here?? You know what, hell yeah.

im still learning how to draw and shade hair (especially curly hair). i know this is not perfect but im willing to learn more so :D pls dont be mean /lh

Yap session about him under the cut !

His name is Yukito (often shortened to Yuki). Yuki's surname (Hōga) is not revealed to the public because... his parents are in jail for medical malpractice... So, not very good to be an idol with public info when u have a name similar to your mom's and your dad's surname I guess !

He's part of an oc unit me and my friends developed ( @vanrouge13 <- had the idea and the rest tagged along /pos, @flanpuds & @mentally-eel-moray ) called CiR×CeN (we call them C×C for short!). Yukito is a bit insufferable but it's okay because all the members of C×C are freaks💙 /aff. C×C is themed after different types of dolls! Yukito's idol persona is themed after rag dolls, mainly inspired by Raggedy Ann (fun fact: he would watch the show with his mother as a kid !)

Personality: Yukito likes to joke around a lot (medical malpractice is his humor, call that a coping mechanism). He can come off as quite careless to others, but truly he just wants to uplift the mood. He can be a reliable big brother if u ignore how he talks about preserving people's brains in a jar as if it was the most affectionate thing someone can do.

Deep inside, Yukito wants others to rely on him and comfort them, but doesn't want to burden others with his problems. He still holds a bit of a doctor-like behavior (from his parents and from wanting to be a doctor when he was younger), and sometimes will look at people who are equals to him as "patients" or people he shouldn't depend on, but rather that they should depend on him. Yukito feels as an extension of those he loves, and not really someone with needs. This is why he can be pretty neglectful about his own health but remind others to take care of themselves.

Darkness consumes him but he remains silly

Fun facts! (... and some others not so fun):

Because of an accident he had when he was a teenager, Yukito has to use a cane every once in a while. Even after the surgery, he has to keep his body in some sort of physical activity and go to appointments often so his back doesn't hurt like hell.

Said surgery made him partially lose his vision in his right eye

^ has reddish sclera bc of that. He is too self-conscious of that and often uses sunglasses or an eyepatch (!!! Bad!!!) to hide it

He loves doing sport. He will try any sport once (/ref...im still dps brained...)

He is bisexual and transgender. Yeah you can say he got his top surgery at Claire's or smth of the sort, he likes those medical malpractice jokes. He puts the bi in bitchless

He is Mayoi, Tomoya and Ibuki's roommate! Because HappyEle sucks I also made Ibuki Taki my own oc (who doesn't?). Yukito and Ibuki are cool uncle & gen alpha nephew coded

Biology and medicine nerd. Used to read dictionaires, encyclopedias and quite complex books as a kid. Very skilled at memorizing stuff. Knowing the scientific names of so many plants and animals may be his biggest flex.

Yeah, the autism is diagnosed. He probably has ADHD too but not even his diagnosis freak instincts realized it yet

Someone needs to tell him to stop drinking and smoking i think

I wouldn't trust him with my drink if I were you. He has good intentions but he will fuck up

Can't cook for shit. And his favorite food is the one served at hospitals. Tasteless foods are his thing

He could have pulled a gyaruo baddie but he's a loser

Don't let these bulletpoints fool you, I actually like him very much. He's just weird .

Oc posting era yay

[boopshoops]

hiya!! for the ask thing can I ask for Food and Name for Jocia and Yuu Shi? tysm!!!

(also baby goats baby goats baby goats-)

Name: What does your twst OC's name mean? Why does Rook/Floyd call them [insert nickname]?

OH i have- lots of lil lore tidbits for this

Jocia, according to my research waaaay back when I finally looked into her name (I deadass thought I just made it up at first), is typically associated with "joy!" Though Im sure that was obvious from the almost constant glare on her face /sar. It is also a different form of the name Jocelyn, a German name. I always pronounced it Jo-sha til I learned it was supposed to be- well, exactly as its spelled, Jo-see-ah.

Floyd calls her Barracuda! Initially I was going to have that be what he called Yuu, but the "catfish" pun was too good for me to pass on. So- what else could I do but hand over the title to Jo? Plus I think it fits her better :P Primarily due to how the barracuda is more known for how they hunt and fight.

They are known to be ferocious, attacking quickly and using ambush techniques (similar to a certain pair of tweels). They are also known to just straight up take fish from other species, even human divers- besides that, they don't really attack humans unprovoked. Barracudas also compete with moray eels for food/prey.

I feel like this relates back to how Jocia "handles" her anger- or- howshetakesitout on people around her who wrong her/those she cares about. She is ruthless and fearsome at times, but for the most part she prefers to just... chill. She doesn't purposefully go seeking out trouble when she's in the right place mentally.

Rook calls her "Reine des épices" (pls excuse any mistakes, blame the translator), which translates to "Queen of Spice!" This is honestly more of a personal reference. Me and my partner always used to joke that Jocia was kinda like a pepper- and would often use 🌶️ when joking about her. It's mostly due to her fiery, hot-tempered nature.

Yuu- is- well, yuu. I didnt come up with that, i just snatched it JFNDJDJ. HOWEVER. "Shi" can have many different meanings! I tried my best to go for something vague. I like the thought of having something that leaves you guessing what applies and what doesnt. However! It can actually also mean "you." Yuushi as a whole can translate to "hero!" (Another ironic take, I know)

Floyd calls her catfish bc. It's funny. I think it's funny and I'd bet $20 that he'd think it's funny. So it's catfish KFNDJDK

Besides the obvious- (pretending to be someone she isnt), catfish can live in almost any aquatic climate, making them rather adaptable. They have a large range of size and behavior, and are most well known for their stinging "whiskers." (Glances at shi's taser) They ALSO compete with eels for prey- as long as they arent a small enough species, then theyd become the prey.

Rook calls her "Reine du Rock", which means "Queen of Rock"- this one is just simple. She loves rock music. She plays it all the time, and it is what she most enjoys performing. Again i am not a good translator trust me i tried to learn another languagemybrainjustcant

Another fact, the twin's parents switched them around at birth on accident, and forgot who they named what initially. It's entirely possible that Yuu was supposed to be named Jocia, but they don't know :P they fight over who is older bc of this too.

Food: What is your twst OC's favorite and least favorite food? Why (optional)? Is there anyone they can share their favorite food? Is there anyone they can count on to take over the food they dislike?

I went into this a lil bit with Yuu in the past during different ask games! Here and here. And a lil bit for Jo here. (Their fav and why<)

Yuu Shi is partial to suggesting treats to Trey- whether he actually makes Bungeoppang or just uses Doodle Suit, it is currently her easiest means of getting it when she only had it a few times prior. So, sure, she'll share... sometimes.

Jocia- given she is partial to a barbequed dish, she could share it with Leona given his love for meat... but WOULD she? No.

Yuu Shi would never subject anyone else to caffeine even if they really enjoyed it, unless that someone is the sink drain.

As for Jocia... really, she didnt have too much against olives. They were bad, yeah, but not horrible. She hated the way they made her tongue itch, though... and then she figured out that they weren't supposed to do that. She's allergic. Yuu Shi used to take them for her, but there isn't really anyone who enthusiastically WANTS them either.

HOW do you have the patience to make these details... how do you decide where each line goes when there are so many? Is it channeling something? Or do you have to think and reason, okay, this line goes here, and then the next line goes here...

when i was younger i used to think spending more time on art made it better and i would kind of try to prove my mettle in art by use of heavy detailing instead of via technical skill. also i generally care moreso about the details in things rather than bigger picture so im more inclined to have my drawings reflect that... now i dont think that time makes it better anymore but thru years of working like this ive just developed a general affinity for extensive detail. i am trying to be more content with making simpler stuff too but i have to consciously learn that though, keeping it simple and staying confident about it.

do i channel something:

mmmm...maybe? sometimes a picture makes me a little crazy and i feel like i have to represent some type of perfect divinity in a "correct" manner.

heres 3 pics where that happened. the first two are trying to be more representational of concepts whereas the latter is more general level ornamental. like how a church would be decorated.

im a little more lax now on dedicating pictures to spirituality, but a lot of my pictures still have some type of divinity meets earth topic and in those i always think of the divine as something that in its truest form couldnt be understood but because the creature has divine power it can present itself or modify the world in any way it wanted to. and so it would choose ways that are easily understood as beautiful and good. why angels are pretty...

thats whats happening in these. the comet makes its body be beautiful while the seal eel serpent is showing its power thru perfect control of the water and making a really pretty splash

to ur question of how i decide on each line: its a mix between keeping every line imbued with intent but also not concentrating on the picture so hard that i have to enact force on it. i still redo most of my lines multiple times but i also dont feel fully conscious for the detail part of these bigger pictures. i have to be in a good mental state and those happen rarely. my workflow isnt ideal. a lot of days i do nothing and then on one day of the week i dont do anything but draw on one picture for 14+ hrs. i did that a couple days ago again and its euphoric in the moment, but the day after i feel drained dry as fuck. theres also an aspect to it where i draw virtue from patience and dedication to a task. i try to steel my patience a lot and drawing like this is part of that. i look up to nuns and eunuchs or that spaniard who built a church solo. id like to have that type of mindset with a Will that strong. but i dont want to do it via god based faith but instead my own thing. sorry for babble- thank you for the ask.

playing more 6.0 (im sorry im so slow its the mental eels that decide i can only grind) and livingway saying the loporrits are excited to protect Etheirys instead of simply pushing to evacuate because Urianger specifically brought them there and made them love it

[punches the dirt] urianger augurelt loves the world he loves the people in it he loves everything so much that his joy of teaching loporrits about it and bringing them to see eitheryis and experience it got his love for the planet to rub off on them. he cares so much. he's so depressed so often in msq and so haunted by his failures a lot of time but any time hes pressed or gets the chance urianger expresses true and sincere love for the world and those around him. even when shit gets dark or even when he feels like he is decidedly Alone he cares about everything so much. all the way back in hvw patch when he was claiming to work with elidibus he tells you he was never swayed by the ascians because, specifically, he loves the scions. he cares about everyone

i love analyzing how deck builds play into characters personalities like yugi using a silent archetype deck that focuses on monsters that combine or summon each other represents how he draws strength from his friends plus of course the silent magician/swordsman which gain atk over time (at least in the anime lol) representing how he’s grown to be strong enough to be on his own without atem helping him. plus side note about the silent magician archetype is that while they’re all depicted as women they all use masculine terms and language which is yet more proof for my yugi muto transgender agenda… then you have atem’s dark magician deck which is heavy on effect monsters and spell cards that allow him to get his most powerful cards out as quickly as possible in contrast to yugis strategy of allowing his cards to gain power over time. atem also notably uses a combined dark magician and dark magician girl attack on yugi in their final duel that yugi counters with the strength of silent magician, countering the idea that atem (as dark magician) and him (as dark magician girl) are stronger together than they are apart, since dark magician girl is dark magicians pupil and yugi feels that atem has taught him everything he can teach and his continued presence would stifle both of them… i love yugioh

NO LITERALLY.....kazuki takahashi said that the duels represent "conversations between hearts" and when you look at it that way they have so much more meaning.... again im always on that ishizu shit but the way you can glean what sort of future she saw from her dialogue

and then

which entirely recontextualizes her deck. i think the fact she spends so much time during it talking about her vision and how its tailored to kaibas deck makes it easy to overlook but i think the fact in later things like duel links "exchange of spirit" is her ace card really hammers it home.

the two biggest cards in that duel from her were "exchange of the spirit" which she describes as "the living will die and the dead will rise", as well as "blast held by a tribute", which sacrifices a tributed monster in order to destroy the monster being tribute summoned. with this in mind the outline of a plan that involved taking yami marik out along with herself becomes clearer-- which again, calls to how shes meant to parallel kaiba in a way. her perfect composure is that of a soldier grimly going to war

and dont even get me started on rishid v joey. the mental eelness.

[mihai-florescu]

I think i have a very average intelligence and general skillset unless i think something is gonna be funny, when braincells i didnt even know i had activate. I famously got a scholarship with an admission rate allegedly lower than harvard just to spite my mom. Didnt want it, i was listening to these kids saying they applied 3 years straight and id feel so bad cuz that was not my experience at alll i treated it like a side quest. I roleplayed as an eel in the interview at some point. Actually nvm i dont think any new braincells were involved, it was just the universe setting things up for me trying to see how far id take it. Same as the time i was in the choir that sang for the president when i cant...really sing well imo... i just thought itd be funny if i applied cuz i was in my glee era... anyway i need new silly things to get involved in, i think the reason im doing bad mentally now is because i dont have enough side quests to keep me busy. But they gotta be ridiculous and inconvenient, a *recording freezes* "yup, thats me, youre probably wondering how i got there" moment. Maybe the problem is that shit like this only happens when youre in highschool? I dont know

For the meme: otp: speedrunning evolution and durgetash

Alvin x Hubert - bingo bongo, they give me mental eels, like it's not canon, i know, i literally came up with it as a tiny joke for myself, like lol evil scientists should kiss about the medical atrocities, and now we're here, and like i don't actually want to be hired by CDPR but hey, hey secret agent reading my blog, just pass the note to lore keepers that this is now canon and they should add something to TW1 Remake, i will be so normal i swear

Durgetash - trying to answear this one with general game-y Durge, not Nithral specificly, bc Nithral would come in as a combo with Nam, but akjsdhajksdhjka this is such a good thing to randomly, seemingly, drop into the game, Larian when off with it, and it tells us so much about how batshit Gortash is, im in love with the whole concept

im gonna give this a try its startted to get too used to me going "ohhh h IM mentally eeeeel" and imagining a moray eel smiling in my brain when im fighting it to remind myself that i have inhrently unreasonable thoughts sometimes, hopefully it helps! yayy!!

they won't tell you this in therapy but sometimes the best way to stop catastrophizing/anxiety is to interrupt your spiraling with "girl what the hell are you talking about"

how do you know when a piece like your groudon is finally “done”, or done Enough?

i dont have an answer for this but maybe when i just type a lot i will find one.

for the groudon pic specifically i had a mental image in my head of what scene i wanted. when i started rendering the lava, i did it really detailed and decided i couldnt leave the rest of it simpler and then when the lava was all like that i had to crank everything else in the picture up too. and that made everything take so long that it was far beyond the boundaries of it being "not enough" . it was pleny enough!! so from hour 30-52 i was pretty eager to get it over with. just everything up to the point where its uniform in rendering. sometimes thats a bad sentiment to work on a pic with, but this time it was ok. i kind of like arduous menial tasks. it makes me more patient. so for that one it was done once everything was on par with my detail standard i set for myself halfway thru.

i think i used to have more trouble with this, deciding when its done... my pice now always either end when they reach what i had planned or when theyre the type of pic without a plan then when i get bored / lose the flow of it. actually prior to the groudon pic even some planned ones stopped at a flowloss point.

these two picy both have immaculate rendering on parts but then i lost it and finishdd the rest of the pic with less vigor. in tve green comet one its all the surroundings. i had other versions for that and kept reworking and reworking but i was so ouf of power i just used a slightly polisjed up sketch, kind of works for the pic though. the eel one i also lost power at the backhground, beyond the water. the mountains and clouds i think i coulda put more effort in. but its ok cuz its like 0% the focus of the picture, just sometjing that bothers me alone. hey both of these pics are about a serpent type thing coiling down to earth gently from the sky oops. back to the question um ya im looking at my images and all of them either end when they reach what i had in my head or when i loose flow. when i used to do lsd more my process was that the picture ends when i go to bed. i want to do that again soon it was fun. i drew for like 6 hours while kind of crazy then for the next 12 hours in warm afterglow i just clean and render everything so sweetly and then with a body as hard as a hundred bodies i sink into my bed and click post on it which codifies it as completed. also towards tve end of the picture is usually when im stressing about tiny details and i will message like 1-2 consistent people and 1-2 random people from my discord friendslist to ask about opinions about which tiny detail looks better for the whole pic. when im at that point i cant think straight no more so well no more so i kind of know its time to stop soon. but those final feedbacks always help. ok i guess thats an answer lol i made it very long i will put a readmore. hope u dont mind reading but i think if i sent someone an anon the longer the reply the happier i would be. probably. im in bed but im gonna get up again in a sec and play some balatroooo, 2 people bought a groudon print so far and i spent that money on balatro eep hihi thank u for the ask which i twisted into my babbleplateau

[frnkxstein]

maybe it's the influencer/youtuber vlogger content getting to me or the general likelihood of my mental eelness being a bitch once again but really it's so hard nowadays to see people moving to places they want to be in but really just TRAVEL and see the world. im lucky to have the ability to be in college and live near but i feel so boxed in and wonder everyday whether that will ever be me, successful and being able to see the world.

i love learning, i love seeing, i love exploring which comes as a haha as a chronic and proud homebody but it's the fact i would love it to be on my own terms, free to live, to learn, to see the world. ik to an extent it IS that youtuber life bc life itself is aesthetically pleasing in those videos but the fact they get to be on a long term break, backpacking across god knows where.... if only it could be me haha.

feelings like this also make me scared for when im fully in the working sphere but those are thoughts for another day.... 💭

May 30 - Tea Ceremony at Hama-rikyu Garden

Ever since I signed up and saw the itinerary for my study abroad, I’ve been excited for the tea ceremony. My only experience with it are in films such as Ozu’s Noriko, and Ozu was able to capture the tranquility and beauty of the event on camera. While today’s tea ceremony only consisted of the ending portion (in all a tea ceremony can be 4 hours), I can confidently say that the aura captured by Ozu is a mirror of reality. The ceremony was held by a renown tea master who’s craft has been handed down for generations from mother to daughter. The event itself while simple was very intricate as the tea master conducted themselves in a very calculated manner. The tea itself was wonderful, and it was the first time I had ever tried matcha! The tea was accompanied by delicate sweets in the shape of various natural objects meant to remind one of the current season. Once the tea ceremony was completed, I walked around the beautiful garden with my roommate Sam. This is the second day in a row that we have visited beautiful green spaces that exist within the city. This has come as a real surprise as my mental image of Tokyo has always been a concrete jungle, but so much care is placed into the development of these green spaces that it truly feels like you are in a completely different area. After our group excursion was concluded I went to the Tsukiji Fish Market where I tried grilled eel and sake for the first time. The market was bustling with each alleyway tightly packed, as people shuffled from one stall to the next. My energy ran out faster than it has these last couple days so I turned in early, and will just try to recuperate for tomorrow.

Academic Reflection

Our readings for today closely aligned with our excursion, acting as a sort of primer so we didn’t walk in completely blind. I was reminded of how seriously the Japanese take their crafts, as the tea master who served our tea has been conducting ceremonies for 40 years now. She attended school to become a master and is now passing down her teaching to her own daughter, as he mother did for her. While the historical facts from the readings were wonderful, such as the bloodthirsty Nobunaga being satiated by tea ceremony equipment a single phrase really stuck out to me. That phrase is ichigo ichie, which means “one time, one meeting.” Maybe it comes with age (even though I’m not that old yet) but I found it to be such a beautiful phrase and it really grounded me in the moment at the tea ceremony. I will likely never meet the individuals who conducted our ceremony again, and when our trip is over I will likely never see my peers again. While it may sound gloomy when put like that, the real beauty I found was that whether it’s the chaotic Warring States Period or our own chaotic time maybe through odd circumstance (or fate if you’d like) we may meet again. But the next time our meeting will be completely different, and nothing like what came before which makes that previous moment special.

That’s ultimately what I got out of todays reading and excursion. Im unsure if I will even ever return to Japan after I leave, so while I’m here I should be fully engaged in the present not worrying about the minor issues in my life.
